RedHat /etc/init.d/named script is broken. Well, not exactly. the bind
package improperly setup itself. The probe command simply checks
if named is running. If this is not the case, it tells linuxconf that the
service has to be started.

The probe command is using the rndc command to query the named process
but fails (for some reason, such as impropery key). Since it can't talk to named
it assumes it is not running, so suggest to start the service.

A quick solution is to edit /etc/init.d/named and find the probe) section and
remove everything up to the ;; characters. This will shut up linuxconf.

Another solution is to change the probe section by the following.

        eval `/bin/linuxconf --hint dnsconf`
        if [ "$NAMED" != "" ] ;then
                echo $NAMED
        fi

This will tell you if the named currently running is in sync with the configuration
on disk. Often, one do some modification in a service and forget to restart it
and then wonder why the changes are not effective. This is the purpose of this
screen and the probe command.

This is required if you are using on demand connection such as PPP. It is useful
to support properly remap the TCP session which triggers the first connection.
